Lindylou Tar for the link to Les Spaine, Lindy did you ever go to The Sink
on Hardman St

No. Never went to The Sink.

Tuesday was always a good night in Uglys - lots of footballers in there as they didn't often play mid-week in those days. It was probably 1972-79 that I'd have been in there (just the one night a week, not permanently!).

I'm trying to remember which club it was that opened on a Sunday night - though just until 12.00. I was often in there and can picture it in my head, but can't remember where or what it was. It wasn't very good - but just about the only place open on a Sunday.

Any suggestions?

Was it the Vic ? (The Victoriana)

[DiscoMan]

The Sink ...didn't you get in there if you gave a sink plug at reception ?...never knew Queen played there, but their FIRST gig (they were from London, so that seems odd ?)

Went to the Sink circa 1966. It was below a "caff" called The Rumbling Tum.

I know of a rumbling tum cafe in Nelson, Lancs. Just below their big chimney.

They make the biggest batches in the World.

It's brought out to you be four semi naked black guys.

Really is big.

It was the first time Mercury sang with them.They were called Smile and they also played the Cavern.
Have a read of Brian Mays book,all the details are in there.I would post them but my sister in law has still got it,must get it she's only had it for about 10 months.

The Rumblin' Tum was on Hardman St and was run by Neil English, who became the first manager of the Odd Spot.

My Dad worked on Ugly's and the Rainbow club for a long time , i'll ask him where else he worked , i know he worked on the Lacarno too ...

George I wouldn't be surprised. Colin was the main reason I went to the Masonic, I knew him quite well - a lovely fella - ended up working the cruise liners before he died.
Minnesota Fats is a bridge too far for my seriously bad memory - although I keep thinking it rings a bell. Great days indeed....I can never hear Stevie Wonder's 'Superstition' without imagining the walls of the Pun shaking.

Hiya Dave I knew the Areeti Family pretty well, I,ve been living in Canada
35 years I did,nt know Colin had passed, what year was that, I had heard
that Tom Jones liked Colin,s singing, don,t know true that is, Cheers davec

I knew Neil English quite well from the Rumblin Tum / Sink, Neil drove a
Gordon Keeble a very rare car, I remember when he ran the Odd Spot on
Bold St

[georgieboy]

I remember the Grotesque sign that hung outside Ugly,s on Duke St

Hi George,

Colin passed away in 2005, I don't know what the cause was.
A thoroughly nice fella - think the last time I saw him was on the Coconut Grove.

Don't know if this link will work; http://www.youtube.com/user/TONIO2K8#p/f/16/kozxeool3tE
